Walsh appointed West Indies interim head coach

West Indian pace legend Courtney Walsh was on Monday appointed Bangladesh's interim head coach for the Nidahas Trophy.

Walsh, who joined Bangladesh coaching group in September 2016 as a bowling coach on a three-year deal, is currently the senior-most coach in the group.

Walsh played 132 Tests for West Indies taking 519 wickets. He played 205 ODIs scalping 227 wickets.
